To the untrained human, trying to get pregnant simply involves gettin’busy, knockin’ boots, makin’ bacon, the lust and thrust, the bump and grind, havin’ a bedroom rodeo, some hanky panky, gettin’ lucky, a roll in the hay, a good old fashioned shag…..

……but for those of us in the infertility trenches, we know getting pregnant means trying to hone your body into a perfectly balanced eco-system of hormones and chemicals you never knew you had while aligning the planets during a mystical creatures convention where a unicorn nods approvingly at you and The Cubs win The World Series.

It can be daunting.

For me, it boils down to having a constant stream of distractions, shiny objects and things to occupy my brain. I share some here each week.

I don’t know if it’s good for the bunny or not, but he just looks so blissfully content.

I think the guy’s saw that his moment of glory was presented to him on a silver platter and he just took it….and he made alot of people happy with his 2 minutes of dance magic.

This video has started creeping into my Facebook feed, and based on the fact that it’s jumped 8000 views on YouTube since I looked at it last night, I would say it might be everywhere real soon. It’s awfully cute…..and now I want a grown-up sized snowsuit to wobble around Chicago in this winter.

This is one of the strangest and most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Those Nordic folks know how to make silly with high production values.

I’m not for this whole twerking craze, though the Worst Twerk Fail video that’s been on YouTube for awhile now was not without its amusements, and over 9 million people saw it. Last night on Jimmy Kimmel it was revealed that the entire thing was an amazing hoax. Andy Kaufman would be proud. Here’s the whole story:

This one’s been around awhile but I was just reminded of it….and who can’t dig a tiny dog helping out his cat pal.

Just found these two gals on Funny or Die – they have a mess of videos, but this one I found rather…..relatable. I mean, who amongst hasn’t has a girlfriend at a party codeword-help us out of a bad conversation or three.

Disgusting cuteness on many levels. It simply begged to be shared.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure has long been one of my favorite movies – always good to just throw in or have on in the background. While it has a ton of great moments….this one spawned a dance craze and alot of quotes amongst my friends.

Sure we’ve all seen shark cat on a roomba…..but this one’s in the kitchen!

I love me some Alan Rickman, in anything really. He’s wonderful as Colonel Brandon in Sense & Sensibility, so very evil as Hans Gruber in Die Hard….but I think I first took a shine to him when he played The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which is also fun to watch due to Kevin Costner’s wandering British accent.

I could watch TV/movie bloopers all day long. Luckily YouTube has a buhgillion of them.

And, just so you know that I do things other than watch television and YouTube…..I’ve been reading alot lately as well. I grabbed Stephen King novel Cell from the library and couldn’t put it down. And, I’ve been loving Philippa Gregory’s books – lots of historical fiction on famous female figures within the British monarchy. Give these a look for some fun page turning:

Likely you’ve seen this video – it has 141 million hits on YouTube and likely you are one of them. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.

There are a ton of these but this is one of my favorites. The premise is simple: they get someone drunk, that person proceeds to tell a story about a famous person from history, and then famous people re-enact that version of the story….drunken blather and all.
